United Kingdom issues travel warnings for various regions in Venezuela

The United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has advised against all travel to several areas in Venezuela due to security concerns. Specifically, the government advises against all travel to the state of Amazonas and areas within 40 kilometers of the borders with Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana.

In the state of Bolívar, the warning applies to the Orinoco Mining Arc region south of the Orinoco River. This includes the entire municipalities of Cedeño, Piar, Roscio, El Callao, and Sifontes, as well as specific northern sections of the Sucre and Raúl Leoni municipalities. Additionally, travel to the area south of the Orinoco River in Delta Amacuro is discouraged.

For the remainder of the country, including Zulia and Maracaibo, the FCDO recommends that travel only be undertaken if strictly necessary. British citizens residing in or traveling through Venezuela are urged to have personal emergency plans in place to leave the country or stay safe during a crisis, noting that they should not rely on British government support.
